Acute Inpatient PPS

Section 304(c) of Public Law 106-554 amended section 1886(d)(3)(E) of the Social Security Act and requires CMS to collect
data every 3 years on occupational mix of employees for each short-term, acute care hospital participating in the Medicare
program. The zip file in the downloads section below contains two files. One is a PDF document which contains Form CMS-10079
(2016) and includes the 2016 Occupational Mix survey HOSPITAL form and instructions and definitions. The second file is an
excel spreadsheet that has two tabs: One is the 2016 Occupational Mix survey form that HOSPITALS MUST complete and submit
to their Medicare Administrative Contractor. The second tab contains the 2016 Occupational Mix survey hospital instructions
and definitions. CMS requires that hospitals use the excel spreadsheet when hospitals submit their 2016 Occupational Mix survey
data to their Medicare Administrative Contractor. Also included in this zip file are the relevant text files in order to meet
508 compliance.
